Fit-Again Mbappe at Real Madrid for Clashes Like Bayern Tie: Arbeloa

On Monday, Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa confirmed Kylian Mbappe is fit to start Tuesday's UEFA Champions League quarterfinal first leg against Bayern Munich at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Returning from a knee sprain that sidelined him against Manchester City, Mbappe joined the club specifically for high-stakes knockout ties, Arbeloa explained.
Coach Arbeloa noted he faces a "delightful" selection challenge with stars like England international Jude Bellingham returning to fitness, alongside Vinicius Junior and Valverde.
Forward Vinicius pledged the team will perform at "200 percent" against Bayern, following a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Mallorca on Saturday that left Madrid seven points behind Barcelona.
Arbeloa is emphasizing a cohesive "collective mentality" as the primary requirement for success against the German giants Bayern Munich.
